Hi, I am trying to install ROS for the first time. I use ROS Foxy, Windows 10 and VS2019. I followed ROS tutorial here : https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installa...

When i launched : >colcon build --merge-install, I obtained this :

I use ROS Neotic, Windows 10 and VS2019. I followed ROS tutorial here : https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installa...

the link points to the ROS 2 Foxy installation documentation for a Windows development setup.

You are not using ROS Noetic, as that's a ROS 1 version.

Ok, I managed to fix that by reinstalling Visual Studio. Now I get :

Summary: 0 packages finished [6.00s]

Is that a good sign ? Because ros2 is still not recognized as an intern command.
